The Little Engine That Could Stands the Test of Time

The Little Engine That Could Stands the Test of Time 

The little engine that could turns out to be Thomas the Tank Engine. First appearing as Rev. W.V. Awdry’s series of books in the 1940s, Thomas has stood the test of time to remain a childhood favourite. What with the advancements of full colour motion picture and sound since then, it only makes sense to turn the beloved book about the anthropomorphic steam locomotive in a full length feature film.  

Writer of the third Shrek movie, Josh Klausner, has been commissioned the script for the movie which looks to combine an impressive array of CGI (computer generated imagery) and live action. The film is set for release in early 2011.  

Ironically beginning as a series of books, Thomas has become the world’s most popular character among the illiterate, namely pre-schoolers. Thomas is somewhat of a gold mine for marketers around the world too, selling more 100 million books a year, never mind merchandise, paraphernalia and an animated series to be released in 2010, on the series’ 65th anniversary.  

Thomas the tank engine has his many forms, be it book, squirter or wooden toy, is available from WantItAll.
